Scrummy Stash Cafe and Friday Sketchers

Scrummy Stash Cafe challenged us to use our tags and Friday Sketchers challenged us to do something using their sketch. So, I flipped the sketch over and here's my offer that combines both challenges




Thanks for looking
Take care. Love and hugs

Certified

Some of you know my youngest sister has been at Birmingham Bible College doing a one year Children's Ministry course. It meant moving to Birmingham and she got her certificate last night. I was pleased to be there to see this, but unfortunately never got any photos.

So, Jo if you're reading this

CONGRATULATIONS

AND WELL DONE

PROUD OF YOU SIS

Here's the card I made her. Once I'd finished it I remembered what I had planned to do ages ago and this wasn't it, but I had no time left to make another one. She liked it though.

I used a piece of black card and after folding it to make an A5 card, I then folded the front half back on itself before cutting it in the shape of a 'C'. I covered this with pink paper and used the same paper to die-cut the rest of the letters. I used silver pen to add stitching detail on all the letters. I added a piece of pink ric-rak (held by silver brads) to the inside of the card. The flowers are held on by wire and the metal embellishments (cross and bible) are held by brads.

Time to Craft, Save and Shop

I was given this gorgeous clock as a thank you for helping my cousin's son in his shop while he was at an appointment. I hve put it above my craft desk. Originally the wording underneath it was stuck on my wall (using white tac) as individual letters, but when I took them off, some of the paint came with them! So, instead of being able to have the words go round the clock as planned, I made a sign to cover the mess.

The letters and butterflies are die-cut on my Xyron Personal Cutting System. The red card is from The Paper Mill and the cream and black card is from stash. To outline the items, I used a black brush marker.

I am busy saving my pennies (and pounds if I have them) to go to Ally Pally in September. I realised that I needed something to keep it all in, so I made this.

I used a cheese football tub I had from Christmas and decorated it using:

K & Co's Hannah Scrap Pad To Go
Prima Flowers (both from CCC)

Diamond Stickles

Fibres from stash

Now all I've got to do is keep saving, so I can shop till I drop!

My Scrapping

Hi everyone, as you know I've been busy scrapping. I've done a couple of LO's of my niece and eldest nephew and here are some others I've done.

This one is for the Elsie Flannigan Challenge #1 on UKS. Challenge was to cut up a phrase.

Paper is Center City - Astor Place from Charmed Cards and Crafts

Phrase is Rusty Pickle Mayflower Cardstock Coupons also from Charmed Cards and Crafts

I've also used buttons and fibres to embellish the LO.

This LO is for the Elsie Flannigan Challenge #2 on UKS. Challenge was to take your favourite photo and change it to B & W for the LO.

I used my favourite photo of my mum on our girls holiday in Somerset last year. It was nice seeing her take a quiet moment beside the stream in Cheddar as she was always so busy at work and home.

The papers and sayings that I mounted onto chipboard (a picture is worth a thousand words / memories last forever / serene) are from K & Co's Hannah Scrap Pad To Go from Charmed Cards and Crafts as is the Prima flower.

I used the Ellison Tootsie Die Cut Alphabet for the large lettering and the phrase on vellum is "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart - Helen Keller"
